Boyle 'saddened' by Slumdog's bad press

Director Danny Boyle is "sad" to see his Oscar-nominated movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' take a battering in the press - accusing the media of putting a negative spin on his filmmaking efforts.

The new picture, which is set in Mumbai, India, has been at the centre of controversy since movie bosses were accused of underpaying their Indian child stars, claims which have been vigorously denied by studio executives and Boyle himself.
